1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundAchieving target doses of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is often challenging due to concerns related to hypotension. This study evaluated dose-dependent effects of ARNI considering on-treatment blood pressure (BP).

methodsFrom a multicenter HF registry, 1,097 HFrEF patients receiving ARNI for ≥6 months were stratified into low-dose (<100 mg/day, n = 249) and intermediate-to-high-dose (≥100 mg/day, n = 848) groups. Echocardiographic changes and clinical outcomes were compared across groups, considering on-treatment BP profiles (high-BP ≥ 110 mmHg vs. low-BP < 110 mmHg).

resultsLow on-treatment BP was independently associated with low-dose ARNI use. Both dose groups showed echocardiographic improvement, but the intermediate-to-high-dose group had more pronounced changes. Over 3.1 years (median follow-up), low-dose ARNI use was associated with a higher risk of mortality compared to intermediate-to-high-dose. These trends were consistently observed in both high-BP and low-BP profiles.

conclusionsLow-dose ARNI use was associated with less improvement in myocardial function and worse clinical outcomes, even in patients with low-BP profiles. This highlights the importance of optimal ARNI dose titration despite low BP concerns.
